Regarding TheNextWeb's Shit-Ass Website

One article at TheNextWeb weighed in at over 6 MB and required 342 HTTP requests. 73 different JavaScript scripts alone. Absurd. I did a reload on the same page a few minutes later and it was up to 368 HTTP requests but weighed “only” 1.99 MB.

This is the most astounding thing I’ve read all week. A case of CMS Gone Mad.
